Harvard Business Review‘s daily stat for December 27 shows that Catholic men make more than non-Catholic men. More specifically:
- 6.7% more in Australia (among those aged 25-54)
- 7.1% more in the USA (among those aged 26-34)
So What?
The brief article mentions that the research suggests that the difference may be accounted for by “a Catholic upbringing (that) instills attitudes and work habits that employers value.” What other factors do you believe could account for or contribute to the wage differences?
